Features & Controls 
Power Door Locks 
You can lock  or unlock  all  doors of your 
vehicle  from  the driver  or passenger 
door  lock  switch. 
On  4-dOOr  models,  the switch  on each 
rear door  works  only  that door’s  lock.  It 
won’t  lock  (or  unlock) all of the 
doors-that’s  a  safety  feature. 
Leaving Your Vehicle 
If you  are leaving  the vehicle,  open  your 
door  and set the  locks  from  inside,  then 
get  out  and  close  the door. 
Automatic Door Locks 
Just  close  your  doors and turn  on  the 
ignition.  All  of the doors  will  lock  when 
you  move  your  shift  lever  out 
of P 
(Park) or N (Neutral).  Each  time  you 
close  your  doors and turn  on  the 
ignition,  the doors  will  lock 
automatically.  If someone  needs  to get 
out  while  the vehicle  is  running, have 
that  person  use  the manual  or power 
lock.  When  the door  is  closed  again,  it 
will  lock  automatically  as long  as the 
shift  lever  is  out of 
P (Park)  or N 
(Neutral).  All doors  will  automatically 
unlock  when  the ignition  is turned  off. 
If  you  don’t  want  the  doors to 
automatically  unlock  when  you  turn  the 
ignition  off,  you  can remove  the Lock 
Control  fuse in  the  Component  Center. 
See  the 
Index under Fuses G Circuit 
Breakers .

can  lock  and unlock  your  doors  or 
unlock  your  trunk from up to 
30 feet 
(9 m)  away  using  the key  chain 
transmitter  supplied  with  your  vehicle.

Add-on Electrical 
Equijment 
NOTICE: 
Don’t add anything  electrical to 
your  Oldsmobile  unless you  check 
with  your  dealer  first. Some 
electrical  equipment  can damage 
your  vehicle  and the damage 
wouldn’t  be  covered  by your 
warranty.  Some add-on  electrical 
equipment can  keep other 
components from working as they 
should. 
Your  vehicle  has an air  bag  system. 
Before  attempting  to add anything 
electrical  to your  Oldsmobile,  see 
Servicing Your Air  Bag-Equipped

1 Fuses & Circuit  Breakers 
The  wiring  circuits in  your  vehicle  are 
protected  from short  circuits  by a 
combination  of fuses, circuit breakers, 
and  fusible  thermal  links in the  wiring 
itself.  This  greatly  reduces the chance  of 
damage  caused by electrical  problems. 
Some  fuses are  located 
in a fuse block 
in  the  glove  box  as shown.above. To 
locate  the fuse  block,  lift  out  the storage 
bin  inside  the glove  box.  See  the 
diagram  later in this section.  Another 
set of fuses is  located in  the 
component center, under  the 
instrument  panel. 
Additional fuses are  located in the 
underhood  electrical centers 
on the 
right  and left  sides  of the  engine 
compartment.

Headlight  Wiring 
The  headlight  wiring  is  protected by a 
circuit  breaker  in the  component center. 
An  electrical  overload  will  cause  the 
lights  to go 
on and  off,  or  in some  cases 
to  remain  off. 
If this happens,  have  your 
headlight  system  checked  right  away. 
Windshield  Wipers 
The  windshield  wiper  motor  is  protected 
by  a circuit  breaker  and a fuse. 
If the 
motor  overheats  due to heavy  snow, 
etc.,  the  wiper will stop  until  the motor 
cools. 
If the  overload  is  caused  by some 
electrical  problem,  have  it  fixed. 
Power  Windows  and  Other  Power 
Options 
Circuit  breakers  in the  fuse  panel 
protect  the power  windows  and other 
power  accessories.  When  the current 
load  is  too heavy,  the circuit  breaker 
opens  and closes,  protecting  the circuit 
until  the problem  is  fixed.
